Fictional character biography

[edit]

Ava, the fifth White Tiger, is the sister of Hector Ayala and a student of the Avengers Academy. She inherited the White Tiger amulet from her brother and came to live with her sister Awilda's family after Gideon Mace killed her parents. Upon her introduction, Ava states the White Tiger is a family legacy that she intends to honor. She also criticizes classmate Reptil for not being more active in the Hispanic community.[10][11]

White Tiger joined the Avengers Academy students in fighting the Purifiers.[12]

During the Infinity storyline, White Tiger and Heroes for Hire thwart Plunderer's plan to steal robot parts. When the Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus' mind in Spider-Man's body) stops Plunderer and considers the Heroes for Hire team as mercenaries, White Tiger quits the team and joins the Mighty Avengers.[13]

During the Inhumanity storyline, White Tiger and Power Man kill Shuma-Gorath by combining their chi.[14][15][16][17] She later attempts to kill Gideon Mace before the other Mighty Avengers stop her.[18]

During the Secret Wars storyline, White Tiger attempts to reconcile with her surviving family members. They are angered that she has chosen a violent lifestyle and threaten to kill her if she does not leave.[19]

In the All-New, All-Different Marvel event, White Tiger joins Sunspot's incarnation of the New Avengers.[20]

Ava later battles her niece Angela del Toro in Rome, during which their respective tiger gods and amulets merge.[21]

During the New Revengers' attack on the New Avengers at Avengers Base Two, Ava battles Angela again, destroys her amulet, and frees her from the Tiger God's influence. The two later help the New Avengers defeat the New Revengers and a rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who was hunting A.I.M.[22]

After defeating a rogue A.I.M. group, Ava and Angela discuss their future, with Ava wondering who the Tiger God will choose to be the next White Tiger.[23]
